Whereas, the Legislature of the State of Maryland has evinced a dispo- 
sition to encourage Agricultural labor, and has, by the appointment of a 
State Chemist awarded to that branch of industry the advantage of its aid 
in discoveries promotive to its profitable pursuit; — and whereas, the im- 
provement and extension of the Mechanic Arts equally deserve the coun- 
tenance and patronage of the State, and are alike conducive to individual 
happiness and State prosperity. And whereas, acting under the influ- 
ence of an enlightened spirit, the Legislature of Maryland at its December 
Session, 1829, by resolution No. 45, did contribute through its Treasury 
to the promotion of Mechanic Arts, which contribution was continued 
until by disasters the Maryland Institute, the then object of her bounty, 
ceased to exist. And whereas that Institute has been revived and is now 
in advance progress, and it is proper that its utility should be enlarged,— r 

Resolved by the General Assembly of Maryland, That the Treasurer of 
the State of Maryland be and he is hereby directed, to pay annually to the 
President of the Maryland Institute for the Promotion of the Mechanic 
Arts, within one month after said Institute shall have held its annual 
exhibition, the sum of five hundred dollars ; provided, it shall be shown 
to the Treasurer that the said Institute is in efficient operation at the time 
of such payment.

copy of the resolution in favor of the Maryland Institute for the Promo- 
tion of the Mechanic Arts, which passed both branches of the General 
Assembly of Maryland, at December Session, 1849.

THE LAYING OF THE CORNER STONE, 



[The following account of the Ceremonies had on the interesting occasion 
of the laying of the Corner Stone of the Grand Hall of the Institute, 
is made up from the report published in the daily newspapers of the 
Uth March, 1851.] 

The laying of the corner-stone of the Hall to be erected for the 
Maryland Institute,, (on the fine lot at the head of the Centre Market, 
running three hundred and fifty-five feet long to Second street, and front- 
ing sixty feel on Baltimore street, the city's principal avenue,) took place 
yesterday afternoon, with ceremonies appropriate to the formal commence- 
ment of a work which in its importance and the beneficial effects which 
may be expected to follow its completion so greatly interests all classes 
of the community. The occasion, as was expected, proved to be one of 
more than ordinary interest, and the participation which our citizens 
take in all that relate to the Institute for the promotion of the purposes 
of which the improvement is to be made, was most strongly exemplified 
hy the large concourse of persons who attended and witnessed the cere- 
monies. The whole space on Baltimore street opposite the spot, was 
completely thronged, a large number of ladies occupying positions on the 
outskirts of the crowd, whilst the windows, and in some instances even 
the roofs, of the houses overlooking the scene, were occupied by interest- 
ed spectators. 

The Mayor, (J. H. T. Jerome, Esq.,) and members and officers of the 
City Council, escorted by the officers of the Institute, came to the ground 
in a body and occupied seats on the large platform, together with the 
Clergy, the Speaker, the officers of the Victualler's Association, the rep- 
resentatives of the press, and many respected and venerable citizens who 
were invited to witness the scene. Letters of excuse for their non attend- 
ance were received from the President of the United States, and the 
Governor of Maryland. 

At four o'clock, Volandt's fine band, (who had generously volunteered 
their services for the occasion,) commenced the ceremonies by the per- 



42 

formance of appropriate music. A fervently touching and appropriate 
prayer was then delivered by the Rev. Dr. Richard Fuller. 

The laying of the corner stone then took place, Wm. Bayley, Esq., 
Chairman of the Building Committee, performing the ceremony, assisted 
by the other members of the Committee. The stone was raised and 
placed in the spot prepared at the base of the pier on the North East 
corner of the edifice, and after being levelled and secured was struck and 
and declared to be well and properly laid as the foundation stone of the 
Hall of the Maryland Institute. A leaden box was then placed in the 
cavity in the stone in which were placed the following articles, a list of 
which were read by the Secretary of tha Committee, S. E. Rice, Esq., 
viz : 

Copy of the Holy Scriptures; Charter, Constitution and By-Laws of 
the Institute; City Ordinances for 1850, containing the ordinance rela- 
tive to the Institute ; Proceedings of the Institute and Board of Managers 
relative to the erection of the Hall ; Acts of Assembly relative to the 
Corporation of Baltimore ; Constitution of the United States and of each 
of the States in the Union 3 List of families and other persons in Balti- 
more town, in 1752, preserved by the late Joseph Townsend and pre- 
sented by Richard Townsend ; a copy of the various Medals and a Di- 
ploma of the Institute ; Catalogue of articles exhibited at the Institute 
Fairs in 1848, ? 49 and ? 50; Copies of each of the city papers; Names 
of contractors for the building ; Names of the Building Committee and 
Architect; Names of the President of the United States, Governor of 
Maryland, and Mayor of Baltimore; Copy of the Baltimore Directory 
for 1851. 

After the placing of these articles in the stone, it was closed, and the 
chairman of the Building Committee, with some appropriate remarks, 
poured on it the libations of corn, wine and oil — emblematic of plenty, 
paace and gladness — and concluded by handing to the architect the 
square and trowel. The ceremony was very appropriate, being in its 
mains features similar to that used by the Masons on such occasions. 

In closing the ceremony and pouring the libations of corn, wine and 
oil on the stone, Mr. Bayley used the following invocation : 

u May the all bounteous Author of Nature bless the Institution under 
whose auspices this work hath been commenced ; prosper the objects of 
its association, assist in the erection and completion of this building to be 
dedicated and devoted to the encouragement, the promotion and eleva 
ion of the Mechanic and the kindred Arts. Guard and protect the 
workmen employed thereon from every accident, grant that each may 



43 

perform his allotted part with skill, ability and success, and long preserve 
the structure from decay. And grant to us all in need, supply the corn 
of nourishment, the wine of refreshment and the oil of joy." 

The corner stone is of marble, and the top of it bears the following in- 
scription : "Maryland Institute for the Promotion of the Mechanic Arts, 
1851. Building Committee — Wm. Bay ley, chairman — S. E. Rice, 
Secretary. J. Reynolds, E. Needles, D. M. Adams, W. Abrahams, B. 
S. Benson. Architects— Messrs. ChifTelle & Raisin." 

At the conclusion of this part of the ceremony the band performed the 
the national anthem of Hail Columbia, in a splendid style, and Joshua 
Vansant, Esq., President of the Institute, introduced to the audience, S. 
Teackle Wallis, Esq., who proceeded to deliver the Address. This 
address will be generally read, and admired by all for its appropriateness, 
the beauty of thought which it developes, and the chaste and elegant lan- 
guage in which it is expressed. He was frequently interrupted during 
its delivery by the applause of his ten thousand listeners, who seemed to 
regret the close of his eloquent remarks. 

At the conclusion of Mr. Wallis' address, the proceedings were closed 
by a prayer and benediction by the Rev. Dr. J. G. Burnap, followed by 
music from the Band. The vast crowd then quietly seperatad, all ap- 
parently highly gratified with the interesting incidents of the occasion. 

It was a common remark at the time, that no public ceremony of the 
kind in Baltimore, had ever been more happily conceived, or more order- 
ly and successfully carried out, than that of the laying of the corner stone 
of the Maryland Institute Hall, on Thursday thirteenth day of 
March eighteen hundred and fifty-one. 

The thanks of the Institute are due to all those who participated in the 
occasion. 



MR. WALLIS V ADDRESS 



I am before you, Fellow Citizens, at the request of the 
members of the Maryland Institute, to say but a few words, 
in honor of the occasion which has assembled us. It is an 
occasion which speaks for itself. Few incidents in the his- 
tory of this community can, by possibility, have been more 
interesting. Within the memory of living men, a paltry ham- 
let has grown up into the prosperous and stately city which 
is round us. Its commerce has brought home to it large 
treasures from the sea, and the hundred hands of its far- 
reaching industry are gathering the best fruits of the land. 
Over the very spot where we now stand, there may be 
those before me who remember when a sluggish stream stole 
quietly upon its course — how marked and wonderful a con- 
trast to the mighty, restless tide of human life and energy 
and wealth, which every day rolls bounding by it ! It is 
not chance to which all this is due. What human agency 
has wrought the change? Our liberal institutions, bless- 
ing and blessed, have borne their part, of course; the 
energy and enterprize of a spirited mercantile community 
have had their share; but the lever which has lifted us 
mainly has been fashioned by the Mechanic Arts, and the 
hard hands of those who toil in them have done the chief 
work with it. We are here, to-day, to lay the corner stone 
of a temple to those arts. The earth has already received 
it. There it is, and there it shall be — not only until after 
all whom I behold shall have passed away, but until the 
last of those who remember us shall have been themselves 



46 

forgotten. The walls which are to rise above it are to be 
no vain monument of pride or folly. As the city which 
it is to grace is of itself a monument of prosperous and 
useful labor, so the edifice, on whose foundations we 
are standing, is to be consecrated to the improvement and 
the welfare of the laboring community, and to the diffusion 
among them of science, skill and virtue. May the sun- 
shine which is glowing on us, from this spring-tide sky, 
be no false token of the brightness which is to wait on its 
destinies and their fulfilment! 

A man must have but poor ideas of what government 
was made for, if he can have any doubt that the education 
of the citizen is one of its chief duties. The heads and 
hearts of those who are born or dwell upon the soil, 
are the richest treasure and the mightiest power of the 
richest and the mightiest empire. Few will be found a- 
mong us, to dispute this, as a truth — almost as few, in pub- 
lic situations, who will take the responsibility of giving it, 
in all its bearings, that full and practical effect, without 
which it is but a declamatory abstraction, like others that 
we hear. Every one is willing to subscribe to it as a prin- 
ciple — to make use of it for rhetoric — not every one can be 
brought to foster it, to develop it, to pay for it as blessing. 
It seeme to be considered that legislation is but of the earth, 
earthy — that rail-roads and turnpikes and canals, and such 
things only, are within its province and its obligations — 
the ways men move in, the things men eat, and wear, and 
gain, and waste — but not the men themselves ! I would 
that I could say this ancient and beloved Commonwealth 
of ours is altogether without sin, in this particular. I am 
afraid that her statute book is mute and inglorious enough 
in those provisions for her children's intellectual develop- 
ment, which ought to be blended intimately and universal- 
ly with all enlightened legislation, as they must make 



47 

part of all that is faithfully and practically republican. 
But I am not here to censure. We are met to congratu- 
late each other, and we will trust that a new state of 
things is before us. We will believe that the time is not 
far off, when no citizen of ours shall bear to his grave un- 
developed, because of his misfortunes or his poverty, the 
intellect which his Maker has given him for his own and 
his country's good ! The Institution which has in hand 
the enterprise of to day, is destined to be an agent of no in- 
significant avail in the work of this regeneration. Let us 
welcome its creation then, as a public benefit, and its labors 
as those of the most substantial and efFective patriotism ! 

In the autumn and winter of 1847, a few practical and 
unpretending citizens met in the Hall not far from us, with 
the view of associating themselves together to promote the 
advancement of the Mechanic Arts. They were men who 
had been bred to toil, and were the architects of their own 
good names and simple fortunes. They had learned from 
their own experience how defective were the opportunities 
afforded, in this community, for intellectual and especially 
scientific culture, among the mechanical classes, and they 
were determined by their best efforts to modify, if they 
should be unable to remote, the evil. They set themselves 
to work, calmly and prudently, but with the energy and 
vigor which come from disinterestedness and conviction. 
They were able soon to enlist in their cause other men,of 
the same feelings, the same interests and the same deter- 
mination. It was a good cause and it prospered. In the 
course of two years the present corporation was created, 
and was solemnly dedicated, by the law which gave it 
being, to the following important objects : 

" And be it enacted, That the objects of the said corpo- 
ration shall be the encouragement and promotion of manu- 
factures and the mechanic and useful arts, by the establish- 



48 

ment of popular lectures upon the sciences connected with 
them ; by the formation of a school of design adapted to 
mechanical and manufacturing purposes; for providing a 
Library, Reading Room, and a Cabinet of Minerals, Models 
and Mechanical Apparatus; for holding annual exhibitions 
or fairs for articles of American manufacture, and for offer- 
ing premiums, or awards for excellence in those branches 
of national industry, deemed worthy of encouragement ; 
by examining new inventions submitted for that purpose, 
and by such other means necessary for the accomplishment 
of their objects as experience may suggest." 

The State, in exacting pledges and imposing duties so 
important, did not leave the corporation altogether without 
aid in their fulfilment. A resolution, of the same session 
of the Legislature, endowed it with an annual income of 
five hundred dollars — no California, it is true, in view of 
the high objects which were contemplated, and of the in- 
terest of the community therein, but still something to be 
grateful for, and the earnest, it is to be hoped, of more large 
and liberal benefactions. 

The City of Baltimore, with a generosity which does hon- 
or to its corporate authorities, did not choose to be left be- 
hind in so excellent a work. An ordinance was passed 
during the last summer, granting permission to the mana- 
gers of the Institute to build their Hall upon this ground — 
the property of the city — as you know — and Fifteen Thou- 
sand dollars were appropriated as the public contribution 
towards it. Nor can these contributions end here. They 
will be added to, if they are needed — for no legislature, 
however narrow in its own views, will be able to resist the 
public opinion, which an enterprise so worthy can never fail 
to command. The wise and just will insist on them, because 
it will be right to do so— the weak and time-serving, be- 
cause it it will be popular. The cause of education is one 



49 

in which it will be no sin for the influence of any class 
to make itself felt. A better cry can never call men to the 
ballot box! — a nobler, a purer, a less selfish one, never ! 
Our citizens, themselves, in the mean time, must not be 
wanting in their individual duty. They have not been 
and they will not be. More than eight hundred names 
are already upon the lists of the association, and there is 
now, happily, no doubt whatever, that the beautiful ed- 
ifice, which the taste of a member* of the Institute has 
designed, will soon lift its towers towards the Heavens, 
that have thus far smiled so bountifully on the enterprise. 

Of the blessings which such an Institution, in full and 
successful operation, will confer upon society, and especi- 
ally upon the class to whose improvement it is peculiarly 
devoted, it would be needless, as it would be impossible, 
to make any calculation. Popular constitutions may for- 
mally secure equality of rights, but equality of intelligence 
is the only guaranty of their practical and permanent main- 
tenance. It is not the policy, not the object, not the theo- 
ry of our institutions — though oftentimes it is the prac- 
tice under them—that the laboring man should be a 
drudge only. It is bad philosophy, bad morals, bad repub- 
licanism. You may disguise the thing by what political 
masking and mummery you please — by as much cant as 
you like, about the " dignity of labour" — but if social 
institutions or defective legislation result in concentrating 
a man's faculties upon his manual occupation only, they 
unfit him, to a degree, for the higher duties, as they de- 
prive him of the highest privileges of genuine republican- 
ism. Men must toil, for it is the ban under which they 
exist; but toil is not, must not be all. You must make it 
tolerable, by blending it with something better. You must

50 

counteract its depressing tendencies, by encouraging those 
which are nobler and upward. You must inform it with 
a liberal spirit — teach it the uses of the head and heart, not 
less than of the hands. 

It is no Utopian dream to look for this — no socialist dec- 
lamation — no appeal of the demagogue — to insist on it. It 
is the very principle on which our system is based, and it 
is a perfectly practicable one, if the right use be made of 
means. Two things alone are necessary for its consum- 
mation—some moderate leisure, and some attractive and 
elevating occupation for that leisure. The laws may se- 
cure the first of these things, to the full extent that 
is needful, and it is by contributing their part towards fur- 
nishing the last, that associations like the present best 
deserve their laurels ! 

There is an admirable feature in the organization of the 
Maryland Institute, which bespeaks a wise appreciation of 
its objects and of the best mode of advancing them. I re- 
fer to the provision in its constitution, which allows to 
youths the privilege of " Junior Membership, 5 ' upon terms 
so liberal as to throw the door open to all. Already large 
numbers of young men have availed themselves of the op- 
portunity to place themselves within the circle of improve- 
ment. The School of Design, which has been established 
on a liberal and comprehensive footing, has already enlisted 
many in the study of those lessons by which the artist's 
eye and hand are trained to catch and fashion and deli- 
neate the beautiful in proportion and in form. The School 
of Chemistry, which it is in contemplation to organize — if 
properly conducted, as we know it is to be — will open to 
the eyes of thousands — who otherwise would see but the 
outside of things handled by routine — the hidden but unfail- 
ing principles which nature gives as handmaids unto art. 
When increasing resources shall have surrounded the Insti- 



51 

tute with the appropriate appliances and means of yet more 
various instruction — when the halls which are to rise here 
shall be filled, as they will be, with models of ingenuity and 
taste — when books, and cabinets, and scientific, well- 
taught teachers shall be here, so that the poorest who is 
athirst for knowledge shall not lack a fountain at which 
to slake it — how many will be the voices of the children 
that "shall rise up and call her blessed !" 

I but anticipate the verdict of the future in saying these 
things, Fellow citizens, if the members of the Institute be 
but true to themselves — as I am sure they will be — and if 
you, the State, the City, and all who have the City's and 
the State's true interests at heart, be mindful of that counte- 
nance and aid which it and its objects deserve at your 
hands. The immediate purpose of the enterprise, 'tis true, 
is to improve a class of the community — but that class is so 
large and so important — its members are so mixed with all 
the most imposing functions and most serious obligations 
of society — that services so signal, done to them, are servi- 
ces to all. And more than that — an enterprise which ele- 
vates the tone and lifts the standard of one American com- 
munity, is not an isolated thing — but, in its sphere and way, 
contributing, with things like it, to elevate and amplify that 
mighty nationality — one and indivisible — the perpetuity of 
which, I had rather be a dreamer and a fatalist, to the end 
of my days, than permit myself for a moment to doubt or to 
despair of. There are things which we believe, without 
the necessity of demonstration, and hope for when hope 
seems dead — things which come to us invested with the 
sanctity of faith, and of which our convictions have the re- 
sistlessness of instinct. Among such things, I class the 
trust of a genuine American in the permanence of the union 
of these States. I will contemplate no future of which any 
other idea is a part. I believe that there is fire in Heaven to 



52 

blast the sacrilege which would invade the ark of the cove- 
nant of human freedom, and I shall look for it to fall when 
the times shall need its coming. 

Let us, my fellow-citizens, foster and support this In- 
stitution, as a link, though it be an humble one, in that 
increasing chain, which is thus to bind us hereafter, all to- 
gether, in common interests, common hopes and fortunes — 
a common civilization. Let us not expect too much 
from it at first, but let us encourage it — say a good word 
for it — do a kind turn for it — when we may. We may 
not reap much of the harvest ourselves, but those who do 
will remember, with gratitude, the hands that sowed the 
seed !

not authority to act, shall apply to the next meeting of the 
Board for instruction. 

He shall give Bond in the sum of Five Thousand Dollars 
for the faithful performance of his dfcrtfes, with two or more

THE INSTITUTE'S HALL. 



The following description of the Hall of the Institute, was 
originally prepared for the Scientific American, in which jour- 
nal it appeared in October, 1851. As the building was then 
in an altogether unfinished state, the article has been modified 
to suit its present complete appearance. 

THE GREAT MECHANICS' HALL AT BALTIMORE, 

We have already noticed in our paper the rapid progress made by the 
KC Maryland Institute for the Promotion of the Mechanic Arts/ 5 and have 
alluded, also, to the great building just erected by that flourishing society 
for its important purposes. As this building is now complete in all its 
parts, and as it deserves, from its extent and the laudable objects to which 
it is to be appropriated, more than an ordinary notice, we have gathered, 
through the officers of the Institute, the following particulars : — The site 
of the Hall is a very eligible one, fronting as it does on Baltimore street, 
(the Broadway of the Monumental City,) and within two or three hundred 
yards of the Merchants' Exchange, Post Office, and City Hotel. The lot 
is that on which the head section of the old Centre Market stood, and has 
a sixty foot front, with a depth of three hundred and fifty-five feet to Se- 
cond street. The basement story of the building, is a Tuscan Arcade, 
having seventy pilasters, with capacious archways, affording free access 
to the market, to the purposes of which this story is still devoted. The 
pilasters, on each side of the building, are finished with cast iron imposts 
and archivolts of an appropriate design, corresponding with the finish on 
Baltimore street, where Connecticut brown stone is used for the first story. 
This market department is said to be the most complete and capacious in 
the United States. It has a twenty-feet ceiling, supported by one hundred 
neat cast iron columns in two rows. The butchers (by whom it will be 
occupied two mornings in the week,) design fitting it up in the most taste- 
ful and appropriate style. 

The Halls of the Institute, though over the market, and supported by 
the same foundation, are entirely separated from it. So well, indeed, has 
this been done, that a stranger might enter the Institute many times with- 



36 

out knowing that there was an extensive market house beneath it. The 
main entrance to the Institute, is by a large archway in the centre of the 
building on Baltimore street, where you ascend a double flight of steps, 
fifteen feet wide, to the first floor. On a broad platform, half way (ten 
feet) up this flight, there are ticket offices on either side. A spacious ves- 
tibule is reached at the head of these stairs, on either side of which, is a 
large office or dressing room. The grand stair hall, on this floor, is 
twenty -five feet square, at the back of which, is a large meeting or re- 
ception room, fifty-five by thirty-six feet, with a fourteen foot ceiling. 
Directly in front of the landing, at fifteen feet distance, is a doorway 
twelve feet wide, opening into the grand saloon ; this room, " in the 
clear,' 7 is two hundred and fifty, by fifty-five feet, with a thirty-two and 
a half foot ceiling. It has twenty windows, ten on each side, which are 
each seventeen and a half by seven, and a grand promenade gallery, seven 
feet wide on the sides, and ten feet at each end of the room, running en- 
tirely around it, at a height of fourteen feet from the floor, and supported 
by eighty strong and beautiful iron brackets, set into the walls. Thus 
the necessity of obstructing the main floor by pillars or columns, or of 
using suspension rods, is entirely avoided, and the floor is left entirely free 
and clear — the largest clear floor in America. This great room is 
finished in a simple but really beautiful style. The fresco painting 
upon the ceiling and walls, is one of the most artistic specimens of that 
kind of work that can be found any where. The design is chaste and 
architecturally appropriate, and the colors are rich and well blended. In 
order to render this room fit for concerts or public speeches, due care has 
been taken. A beautiful cove is placed in the cornice, which has much 
mproved its acoustic properties. Though not containing as much orna- 
ment as some of our public halls, it is thought that, as a whole, this is the 
finest Ball or Exhibition Room in the country. Some two thousand per- 
sons may promenade the handsome galleries, while four thousand more 
may be seated, or six thousand could easily stand upon the main floor, 
making its capacity, in any event, very great. 

On a level with the floor of the grand saloon, there are, in each of the 
end buildings, (see cutji large rooms, and above them are other large rooms, 
on a level with the gallery floor of the grand saloon. There is, in each of 
the end buildings, another floor still, with rooms equally as large as those 
below them. 

The stair hall, on Baltimore street, contains a double flight of steps to 
the second and third floors. By means of the gallery, and the end rooms of 
the building, an ambulatory of eight hundred feet circuit is afforded, being 
nearly an eighth of a mile The gallery itself, in the saloon, is fully six 



37 

hundred feet in circuit. This second floor, on a level with the gallery, is 
divided into three rooms for offices, committee rooms, refreshment rooms 
or other necessary uses. The third floor of the front building, contains a 
very large room, (fifty-five by thirty-three feet,) with a twenty-two foot 
ceiling, which contains the Library of the Institute, and in which light 
iron galleries will be placed, at a height of twelve feet, when the increase 
of the Library requires. This beautiful room, as well as the Stair Hall, 
and all the smaller rooms at the north end of the house, are finished in 
the same elegant style with the Grand Saloon. Adjoining the library 
room, on this floor, and on either side of the stair-head, is a fine large 
room for reading classes, or retiring rooms. The grand stair hall, is 
lighted by an appropriate glass dome on the roof. 

At the other end of the building, on Second street, there are three floors 
also ; as already mentioned, all communicating with the grand saloon. 
These rooms, each fifty-five by forty feet, are to be used for the display of 
all working machinery, and such heavy articles as may be deposited at 
the Institute Exhibitions ; and also, as the design rooms of the " School of 
Design." On the first floor, is placed a thirty horse-power steam 
engine and approved boiler, through which the motive power is de- 
rived at the Exhibitions. A large hoist-way, with an apparatus that will 
raise five tons at a time, has also been provided At this end of 
the building, two flights of stairs have been placed, leading to the 
street, for private uses, and by which an additional mode of egress is 
afforded to the immense audiences that throng the house. We will not 
undertake to add an estimate of the capacity of these various apartments, 
so numerous and so large, to that of the grand saloon ; but the reader will 
not lose sight of the immense space contained in the building, after leaving 
the saloon out of view altogether. Besides all these apartments, the roof 

| contains a store room two hundred and sixty feet long by twenty feet wide, 
and eight feet high. The whole building is brilliantly lighted at night 

, with gas. The grand saloon, alone, contains about one hundred and 
sixty lights, arranged in two rows, upon handsome brackets with glass 

j shades, around the face of the galleries. This arrangement will display 
the great size of the room to advantage, and afford a pleasing relief to 

; the eye, dispensing, as it does, with the glare of light concentrated by the 
chandelier plan of lighting. 

We have now given a hasty outline of the interior, and will add a few 
words upon the outside appearance of the building. 

The style is Italian, of that type known to architects as the Astylar, 



38 

and embodies the novel application or combination of several features 
which may be called American. There is a striking architectural beauty 
and unity about it, though the architect was much restricted in presenting 
a complete structure, by several considerations that were forced upon hint 
by peculiar circumstances. The end buildings, on Baltimore and on Second 
streets, are 75 feet high to the top of the cornice. The main saloon por- 
tion, which is between these higher ends, is fifty -four feet high to the 
crown moulding, or seventy feet to the apex of the roof. A beautifully 
proportioned cupola rises from the Baltimore street end, seventy feet high 
above the cornice, making an entire height of 145 feet. The cupola will 
contain an illuminated clock, and a space for a large city bell below it. 
The end on Second street, has a look-out, or a projection from the centre 
of the roof, twenty-five feet high, and in character with the finish at the 
other end. The central roof (over the saloon,) is finished with three 
small elevations at the peaks, that break its straight appearance, and 
answer the purpose of assisting the ventilation. 

The walls are very heavy, and of the best Baltimore brick, laid flush. 
It has been painted with four coats of oil paint, to correspond in color 
with the brown stone of the basement on Baltimore street. The asher- 
ling of this stone is of finely pointed work, and the mouldings, capitals, 
cornices, &c, are rubbed. The numerous windows in the building, are 
trimmed with much fine work that adds very materially to the splendor of 
the outside. The roof is a most durable one, covered with large and ex- 
cellent slate, of the best quality. The very best materials have been used 
throughout the building, and great care has been observed in insuring 
strength and durability. The foundation is as sound as a rock, the house 
being built upon six hundred and fifty large piles driven homeland firmly 
braced on the heads with immense timbers, surmounted again by six feet 
of solid masonry. The number of brick used in the building, is about 
1,750,000. The cost of the whole building is about $105,000. 

The representation on the cover of this Constitution, gives but a meagre 
outline of this magnificent building. It does not fairly exhibit the finish of 
the arches, the cornices, the windows, the roof, or the cupola. 

For the plan and details of their great edifice, the Institute is indebted 
to the practical skill and fine taste of Mr. Wm. H. Reasin,* one of its 
members, a practical builder, who has undertaken the profession of an 
architect. Mr. Reasin is yet a young man, and bids fair to establish an 
honorable fame in that beautiful science to which he has devoted himself. 

* Now of the firm, of Reasin & Wetheyald, Architects. 



39 

The superintendance of the erection of the Hall, devolved upon Mr. 
Josiah Reynolds, one of Baltimore's most popular builders. 

The general business management and control of the work, was en 
trusted to a building committee of seven managers of the Institute, who 
have performed their highly responsible and delicate duties in a creditable 
manner, and deserve great praise for having put up this splendid struc- 
ture. Their names are Wm. Bayley, (chairman,) Josiah Reynolds, 
Benj. S. Benson, W. Abrahams, Sam'l E. Rice, Edward Needles, and 
Thomas Trimble, 



EXTRACTS FROM THE 

CLOSING ADDRESS, 

Delivered before the Institute, at its Fourth Ex- 
hibition, November 19th, 1851, by the President, 
JOSHUA VANSANT, Esq. 

Ladies and Gentlemen: 

Honored by the members of the Maryland Institute with 
the office of President, it is my duty to announce to this intel- 
ligent assembly, the names of those to whom awards have 
been made, and the character of those awards, for their supe- 
rior excellence in their several arts. It cannot be expected 
that all who have honored our Exhibition with works of skill, 
can be gratified with the decisions of the Judges in the vari- 
ous classifications of articles, any more than can the infalli- 
bility of human judgment, be relied upon. The Managers of 
the Institute selected as arbiters those who are of acknowledged 
integrity as well as skill and judgment, and who, not being 
Exhibitors, could not be supposed to be influenced by consid- 
erations of private interest. In the discharge of the onerous 
duties which devolved upon them, many articles of merit 
have been overlooked, but, I am sure, that they have en- 
deavored to perform faithfully and impartially, the trust re- 
posed in them: if, therefore, they have omitted to notice all 
the articles of marked excellence, or have given decisions dif- 
fering from the judgment of others, it is the part of charity to 
award to them the merit of honesty of purpose.

Tfte brilliant scene now presented, carries me back to a pe- 
riod when Institutions of a character kindred to the Maryland 
Institute were first organized in America, and a few remarks, 
therefore, may be appropriately indulged in, to render in part 
justice to those who have meritoriously pioneered us in jhe 



41 

formation, and in the carrying out of the noble purposes of 
the Maryland Institute. As the organ, on this occasion, of 
that body, I feel at liberty to speak in the plural, and to say, 
that we do not claim for ourselves all the credit which promi- 
ses to attach to an enterprise, foreshadowing such glorious re- 
sults, but freely award the full measure of praise to those, who 
at an earlier day, conceived, and for a time successfully car- 
ried out the noble purposes of institutions tending to the ad- 
vancement of the Mechanic Arts, and the sciences connected 
therewith. 

In the year 1822, a few of the public spirited citizens of 
Philadelphia, aroused by the labors of Doctor Birckbeck and 
Lord Brougham in behalf of the mechanical industry of Eng- 
land and Scotland, convened for the purpose of forming a 
Society for the cultivation and encouragement of the Mechan- 
ic Arts, and for imparting instruction to those engaged at such 
labor; but, from various causes, their efforts failed of success. 
The more zealous advocates of the system, however, resolved 
upon the expedient of calling a town meeting, with the view 
of awakening their fellow-citizens to the importance of the 
measure, and, accordingly, on the 5th of February, 1824, a 
meeting was held at the County Court House, at which a se- 
ries of resolutions favoring the project were adopted, as was 
also a Constitution for the government of the Association. 

From that period may be fairly dated the organization of 
the "Franklin Institute of Philadelphia," being the first In- 
stitute of that character which had been, up to that time, suc- 
cessfully established in the United States. Its first Fair was 
held in October, 1824, and its twenty-eighth Exhibition has 
just closed. Every department of society has realized the 
benefits conferred by that Institution. The admirable system 
of conducting its operations, has been the guide for other simi- 
lar institutions in this country, and is still worthy of emula- 
tion. 



42 

It was not long after the Franklin Institute went into ope- 
ration, that our enterprising and popular townsman, — John 
H. B. Latrobe, (then but little more than a stripling,) deter* 
mined upon the formation of a similar institution at Balti* 
more, and being encouraged in the prosecution of his project 
by Fielding Lucas, Jr. and others, a meeting was called for 
that purpose in the year 1825, and the first Maryland Insti- 
tute for the promotion of the Mechanic Arts, was then organ- 
ized. On the 10th of January, 1826, it was incorporated by 
the Legislature of Maryland, and in the preamble to the Act 
are inserted the names of the Officers and of the Board of 
Managers— to wit: President, William Steuartj Vice-Presi- 
dents, George Warner, Fielding Lucas, Jr» ; Recording Sec- 
retary, John Mowton; Corresponding Secretary, Dr. William 
Howard; Treasurer, Samuel Hardin; Managers, James H» 
Clark, John D. Craig, D* G. McCoy, Jacob Deems, Solo* 
mon Etting, William H. Freeman, Benjamin C. Howard) 
Moses Hand, William Hubbard, William Krebs, Thos. Kel- 
so, Robert Cary Long, John H. B. Latrobe, Peter Leary, 
William Meeteer, James Mosher, Hezekiah Niles, Henry 
Payson, Wm. Roney, Joseph K. Stapleton, Wm. F. Small, 
James Sykes, James R. Williams and Samuel D. Walker* 

On the 6th of Nov. 1825, that Institution held its first Ex- 
hibition of articles of American manufacture, in a build- 
ing in South Charles street, then known as " Concert 
Hall," and its second one at the same place in the year 1827. 
The members of that intelligent body believed that more 
could be accomplished for the Mechanical portion of the com- 
munity, by keeping up, during all seasons of the year, cour- 
ses of instruction through the medium of practical lectures, 
than by expending their means in exhibitions. They accor- 
dingly secured the services of the most intelligent men of the 
State in lecturing upon all subjects having a connection with 
the Mechanic Arts; and to aid the lecturers in the illustration 



43 

of their respective subjects, the Institute caused to be pro- 
cured from France, philosophical apparatus, not surpassed in 
extent and quality, by any of the kind in this country. It 
had also acquired a library for the use of its members, com- 
prising' works upon the sciences, mechanics and literature. 

The members of that Institute continued their labors with 
much assiduity and with great success, until 1835. On the 
7th of February of that year, the Athenaeum, then located 
at the south-west corner of St. Paul's and Lexington streets, 
which building the Institute occupied in part, was consumed 
by fire, and the entire properties of the old Maryland Insti- 
tute were burned. This lamentable circumstance was so dis- 
couraging in its influences that it produced a speedy dissolu- 
tion of an institution which had, during an existence of ten 
years, been productive of great public benefits. Its member- 
ship registered seven hundred and seven, comprising much of 
the intelligence, public spirit, and skill of Baltimore. 

The major part of those who were of that body, have been 
bound by the hand of death, and laid in their "narrow halls." 
To their memories should be awarded the tribute of praise 
which gratitude claims for those who have finished well their 
task, and left the heritage of a good example, and rich fruits, 
the seeds of which they had sown for posterity. Of the sur- 
viving members, I am most happy to recognize in the catago- 
ry of the members of the present Institute — John H. B. La- 
Irobe, Joseph K. Stapleton, Fielding Lucas, Jr., Samuel 
Childs, Jesse Hunt, Joseph King, Jr., Joseph Barling, John 
Rogers, and many others favorably known to this commu- 
nity. 

Youth is the season of enthusiasm; it is impulsive, ardent, 
and quick to catch hold on objects which invite full scope for 
the faculties of the mind, or the physical energies; but when 
we see enrolled among our energetic members those who 
have reached a green old age, and who can scarce have a 



44 

hope to enjoy, in their day, the fruits for which they now toil 
— when we recognize in our council such men as Joseph K. 
Stapleton and John Rogers, we must be more than ever con- 
vinced, that the objects of the Maryland Institute deserve the 
employment of the best energies of its members, as the ends 
have commanded the favor and patronage of the public. To 
John H. B. Latrobe, who devoted, successfully, the energies 
of his mind to form the old Maryland Institute, and lent his 
aid in the organization of the existing institution, I offer, in 
the name of my co-wokers, the assurance of a grateful appre- 
ciation of his services. 

At the period of the formation of the original Maryland In- 
stitute, Baltimore contained a population of about seventy 
thousand souls. The mechanical and commercial enterprise 
of the inhabitants thereof, and their reputation for probity in 
business pursuits, have increased the population to more than 
one hundred and seventy thousand, while its continued ad- 
vance in population, in wealth, and in all that is calculated 
to characterize it as a great city, is no longer a problem, but 
a result, as certain as that attainable by the action of the prin- 
ciples of science. 

On the 30th of November, 1847, a call was issued signed 
by Benjamin S. Benson and sixty-nine others, for a meeting to 
be held at Washington Hall, of all persons favorable to form- 
ing a Mechanics' Institute. In pursuance of the invitation, a 
meeting was held on the evening of the 1st of December 
proximo, at which Jesse Hunt was called to the chair, and J. 
B. Easter appointed secretary, after which JohnH. B. Latrobe 
delivered an address explanatory of the purposes for which the 
meeting had been convened. Even then doubts were enter- 
tained, by some of the friends of the measure, as to the ability 
of successfully effecting the object of the meeting ; and evin- 
cive of those doubts, a motion was made, and seconded, to 
unite with a most praiseworthy Institution, then just establish- 



45 

ed, and styled " The Association for the Encouragement of 
Literature and Arts." But those who were more sanguine, 
believed that the isolation of the object, was indispensable to 
its success ; that the purpose for which they had assembled, 
appealed to their public spirit and their pride of independence 
as a great industrial class ; and challenged their undivided 
energies in the cause ; and thus believing they refused to sanc- 
tion the motion. At this meeting, eighty names were enroll- 
ed, and a committee was appointed to draft the form of a 
Constitution for the government of the body then assembled. 
On the 22d of the same month, the committee made a report 
to an adjourned meeting, and the Constitution submitted was 
unanimously adopted. The first election for officers and a 
board of managers, took place on the 12th of January, 1848. 
On the 19th of the same month, the board of managers met 
and organized. With a proper spirit, the new Maryland Insti- 
tute commenced its career. Its first exhibition was at Washing- 
ington Hall, in the month of October, 1848. At the same, there 
were four hundred and fifteen depositors or exhibtors of arti- 
cles. The gross receipts, from admissions to the fair, amount- 
ed to three thousand one hundred and sixty-three dollars \ 
number of members, two hundred and seventeen. The second 
fair was held at the same place, in 1849. Depositors — four 
hundred and sixty ; gross receipts — three thousand three hun- 
dred and twenty- four dollars ; members — three hundred and 
twenty-three. The third fair was held at the same place in 1850. 
Depositors thereat — nine hundred and fifty-one ; gross receipts 
five thousand six hundred and four dollars ; members — six 
hundred and ten. Ladies and Gentlemen, you are present at 
the Fourth Annual Exhibition of the " Maryland Institute for 
the Promotion of the Mechanic Arts," and in the Hall dedi- 
cated to American invention; skill, and industry, and, I think., 
I may truthfully add, to American glory and independence. 
After the first year of the formation of the Institute, the 



46 

managers of the same were ceaseless in their efforts to procure 
a suitable site for the construction of a building adapted to all 
the purposes of the body they represented ; but no locality 
could be secured that did not present obstacles discouraging to 
the enterprise. I except him who has the honor of now ad- 
dressing you, when I say, that the managers, who had, from 
time to time, been most judiciously selected by the Institute, 
were a fair representation of the intelligence, energy, and 
segacity of the Mechanics of Baltimore, and their labors, as 
the agents of that great body of their fellow-citizens, are meri- 
torious of confidence and favor. But in the midst of the use- 
ful, was the mind that stirred the ashes of the old Maryland 
Institute until it rose, Phoenix like, with a renewed animation, 
and a redoubled strength, from its long rest ; there was the 
man, whose hard hands, muscular frame, and face scarce 
cleared of the smut of toil, indicated that he had, in the eat- 
ing of his bread, faithfully obeyed the edict of God, but did 
not disclose the inventive genius, the sagacity, or the sleepless 
energy of Benjamin S. Benson. To that gentleman, modest 
in his pretensions, yet great in the honored essentials of con- 
ception and execution, are we indebted for giving to the exist- 
ing Institute the first breath of animation, and of conceiving 
the idea of constructing a Hall, to facilitate its noble purposes, 
on the site of the upper Centre Market. 

The enterprise of constructing the building, owes much to 
the citizens, who, having at heart the success of the Institute, 
and possessing confidence in the integrity of its members, sub- 
scribed liberally to stock in the Hall. The Mayor and City 
Councils of Baltimore, which assented to the use of the site, 
and appropriated fifteen thousand dollars towards the construc- 
tion thereon of a handsome, commodious, and permanent 
market place to the great beautifying of the City in that part, 
which most needs the hand of improvement, eminently deserve 
the confidence and admiration of their constituency. To the 



47 

liberal owners of stalls inside of the market house, as well as 
to the occupants outside of the same, great merit should be at- 
tributed for the zeal which they manifested in behalf of the 
undertaking, and for the ready aid which they rendered during 
the progress of erecting the building. 

Tflf ^ ^P "W W "W ^P W ^F ^ 

The present condition of the Institute evidences the most 
prudent and wise management, and also the appreciation and 
encouragement of a discerning and liberal public. There are 
now attached to it, one hundred and fifty-six life members — 
nine hundred and seventy senior members, and seven hun- 
dred and seventy-five junior members, making a total of nine- 
teen hundred and one, being an increase in membership, since 
the last exhibition, of twelve hundred and ninety-one. The 
proceeds of the present exhibition exceed twelve thousand dol- 
lars. Depositors or exhibitors of goods, two thousand forty- 
one, being ten hundred and ninety more than there were at 
the last or any former exhibition. 

The objects of the Institute having been so often defined, 
that it would be profitless to you, as well as a tax upon your 
patience, if I were to attempt a full explanation of the matter. 
There is one department, at least, to which the public has 
given such general approval and commendation, and which 
promises such gratifying results, that I cannot, without much 
injustice to the senior and junior members of the Institute, 
pass unnoticed : — I mean that department which opens to the 
membership the School of Design. To all engaged in Me- 
chanics, and to the apprenticed Mechanic in particular, is thus 
offered an opportunity for learning those branches in drawing, 
which are not only of the greatest importance and utility, but 
which are indispensable to a perfection in Mechanic Arts. 
There are nearly eight hundred junior members of the Insti- 
tute. They are young men meritorious because of their ex- 
emplary characters, and because of their desire so to improve 



48 

themselves, as to render their labors advantageous to society 
as well as to themselves. These young men are not content 
with the performance of the mere physical task allotted to 
them by their parents or masters, but they have evinced a de- 
termination to understand the rationale of their calling, and 
to make themselves, in every essential, the masters of art. 
My life upon it, that they will, as a body, make better men — 
better citizens, and more skilful and more prosperous mechan- 
ics, than any corresponding number of young men in this 
City, outside of the membership. Does not a system which 
promises to accomplish so much good, challenge the support 
of eveiy good citizen ? Is it not a great public benefaction ?

I need not enumerate the many varied and increasing uses 
to which the science of Chemistry is now applied for the con- 
venience, economy, and profit of the world. It extends its 
benefits so generally to all the industrial and refined occupa- 
tions of man, as to render a knowledge of it an indispensable 
part of education. To say nothing of its importance as re- 
gards the intellect, its agency to society has been one of bene- 
ficence exceeding that of the greatest charity. Besides extend- 
ing its assistance to the promotion of arts, it ameliorates the 
evils of sickness by its additions to the Materia Medica ; and 
by exposing the noxious prescriptions of the ignorant, and sub- 
stituting curative remedies, stays even the agency of death. 
No one can tell what may yet be the result of investigations in 
Chemistry. No one can define its limit. " It is a searching 
agent which exposes the errors of those who blunder in the 
studies of nature — a confirmer of truths — a spirit that dives 
into the deep bosom of the earth, and reveals her riches — that 
soars into the high regions of the heavens, and brings away 
its lightnings — that, light-like, penetrates everywhere, and, 
like light, clears away all obscurities." 

We must not, therefore, while enjoying the profitable issues 



49 

of this science, hesitate to foster its advance so that it may- 
keep pace with the requirements of the times. It becomes us 
to have our own oracle to proclaim precepts in science • our 
own school for the education of our members. The artisan 
must be taught the rationale of his processes, so that he may- 
work understandingly. Since a School of Chemistry is so 
essentially an adjunct of an Institute for the promotion of the 
Mechanic Arts, it becomes the duty of ourselves and the pub- 
lic, to co-operate liberally with the committee already raised 
for the accomplishment of that purpose, in creating the fund 
necessary for its erection. This can only be accomplished by 
free-will offerings, as the means of the Institute have nearly 
been exhausted in the construction of this Hall.

The Institutions which are around and about us, dedicated 
to purposes of human improvement, will in their tendencies 
uplift the spirit of man and place each one upon a common 
platform with his fellow. To my brother mechanics, in par- 
ticular^ I appeal to avail themselves of the opportunities which 
are thus presented for their advancement in all that is useful 
and honorable. Mechanics of America, I invoke you to 
adopt the sentiments and profit by the precepts of the distin- 
guished Edward Everett, of Massachussetts — "Respect your 
calling; respect yourselves. The cause of human improve- 
ment has no firmer or more powerful friends. In the great 
temple of nature, whose foundation is the earth; whose pil- 
lars are the eternal hills; whose roof is the star lit sky; whose 
organ tones are the whispering breezes and the sounding 
storm; whose architect is God; there is no ministry more sa- 
cred than that of the intelligent Mechanic." 

My task is nearly done. Thus far the progress of the Ma- 
ryland Institute towards the accomplishment of its great pur- 
poses has been more rapid than its most sanguine friends an- 
ticipfited. The benefits already realized by the community 

4 



50 

since its organization have ; in the happiness which springs 
from a consciousness of having performed a service promotive 
of public good ; more than repaid its most active members; 
for the time and toil consequent upon its management. 

For the Institute; I thank the ladies and gentlemen of the 
State of Maryland; and of the City of Baltimore; for their 
patronage and encouragement. The triumphant accom- 
plishment of the objects of the Maryland Institute is for the 
future. To that end I pledge the faithful labors of its mem- 
bers; and to that end also ; ladies and gentlemen ; a continu- 
ance of your co-operation is earnestly solicited.

February 8th, 1851. J 

Whereas, the Legislature of the State of Maryland has evinced a 
disposition to encourage Agricultural labor, and has, by the appointment 
of a State Chemist, awarded to that branch of industry, the advantage of 
its aid in discoveries promotive to its profitable pursuit; — and whereas, 
the improvement and extension of the Mechanic Arts equally deserve 
the countenance and patronage of the State, and are alike conducive to 
individual happiness and State prosperity; — and whereas, acting under 
the influence of an enlightened spirit, the Legislature of Maryland at its

30 
RULE III. 

The President^ while presiding, shall state every question 
coming before the Institute, before suffering debate thereon,

Institute ready for the question?" 

RULE IV. 

When the decision of the President on points of order is 
appealed from, he shall state his decision, and the reasons 
therefor, from the chair. The party appealing shall then 
briefly state the reason for his appeal. The question, when 
taken, shall be put thus, u Shall the decision of the chair

RULE V. 

Every member, while speaking, shall confine himself to 
the question under debate ; and avoid all personality and in- 
decorous language. 

RULE VI.

THE INSTITUTE'S HALL 

AT BALTIMORE. 



The site of the Hall is a very eligible one, fronting as it 
does on Baltimore street, and within two hundred yards of 
the Merchants' Exchange, Post Office, and City Hotel. The 
lot is that on which the head section of the old Centre Market 
stood, and has a sixty foot front, with a depth of three hun- 
dred and fifty-five feet to Second street. The basement story 
of the building, is a Tuscan Arcade, having seventy pilasters, 
with capacious archways, affording free access to the market, 
to the purposes of which this story is still devoted. 

The Halls of the Institute, though over the market, and 
supported by the same foundation, are entirely separated from 
it. So well, indeed, has this been done, that a stranger might 
enter the Institute many times without knowing that there 
was an extensive market house beneath it. The main en- 
trance to the Institute, is a large archway in the centre of the 
building on Baltimore street, where you ascend a double flight 
of steps, fifteen feet wide, to the first floor. On a broad plat- 
form, half way (ten feet) up this flight, there are ticket offices 
on either side. A spacious vestibule is reached at the head of 
these stairs, on either side of which, is a large office or dress- 
ing room. The grand stair hall, on this floor, is twenty-five 
feet square, at the back of which, is the Library Room, 
fifty-five by thirty-six feet, with a fourteen foot ceiling. — 
Directly in front of the the landing, at fifteen, feet distance, 
is a doorway twelve feet wide, opening into the grand 
saloon; this room, "in the clear," is two hundred and fifty, 



38 

by fifty-five feet, with a thirty-two and a half foot ceil- 
ling. It has twenty windows, ten on each side, which are 
each seventeen and a half by seven, and a grand promenade 
gallery, seven feet wide on the sides, and ten feet at each end 
of the room, runing entirely around it, at a height of fourteen 
feet from the floor, and supported by eighty strong and beau- 
tiful iron brackets, set into the walls. Thus the necessity of 
obstructing the main floor by pillars or columns, or of using 
suspension rods, is entirely avoided, and the floor is left en- 
tirely free and clear — the largest clear floor in America. This 
great room is finished in a simple but really beautiful style. 
The fresco painting upon the ceiling and walls, is one of the 
most artistic specimens of that kind of work that can be found 
any where. The design is chaste and architecturally appro- 
propriate, and the colors are rich and well blended. In or- 
der to render this room fit for concerts or public speeches, due 
care has been taken. A beautiful cove is placed in the cor- 
nice, which has much improved its acoustic properties. Though 
not containing as much ornament as some of our public halls, 
it is thought that, as a whole, this is the finest Ball or Exhibi- 
tion Room in the country. Some two thousand persons n^ay 
promenade the handsome galleries, while four thousand more 
may be seated, or six thousand could easily stand upon the 
main floor, making its capacity, in any event, very great. 

On a level with the floor of the grand saloon, there are, in 
each of the end buildings, large rooms, and above them are 
other rooms, on a level with the gallery floor of the grand 
saloon. There is, on each of the end buildings, another floor 
still, with rooms equally as large as those below them.
